Soda Bread: from recipe card

My grocery store has recipes at the register, but they're on 6" square cardstock, so I forget to file them. IRISH SODA BREAD 4 c AP flour 2 Tb granulated sugar 1 tsp salt 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder 4 oz butter, cold, small dice 1/2 c currants 1 3/4 c buttermilk 1 egg 1 oz butter, melted Sift: flour, sugar, salt, b.soda, b.powder. Add diced butter, work in w/ pastry cutter to 1/4" pieces. Mix in currants. Add to dry: buttermilk and egg. Stir these until the dough comes together, still tacky. Knead on work surface: 3-4 times then shape into round loaf. Score top with X, brush entire loaf with melted butter. Bake: 35-45min at 350F until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped on bottom.
